Jason Kelce Calls Eagles Jaguars Game Amid Broadcast Transition

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce will call the Eagles-Jacksonville Jaguars matchup in London as an NFL Network analyst, while the team prepares for the game with major roster changes and injuries affecting its offense.

According to The Inquirer, Kelce will work alongside Dave Pasch and Kurt Warner at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The broadcast is one of four NFL Network games he is scheduled to call this season.

Kelce has drawn attention during his transition from player to broadcaster after using team-focused language while analyzing Philadelphia. During an ESPN appearance, analyst Pat McAfee noticed Kelce referring to the Eagles as "we" and Kelce apologized during the broadcast.

Kelce spent 13 seasons with Philadelphia, won the franchise's first Super Bowl, and joined ESPN programming after retiring in 2024. His role requires neutral analysis despite his long connection to the Eagles.

Jeff Dufine, an ESPN producer involved with the broadcasts, said Kelce's football background helps him identify details during games.

"Whenever a quarterback is under center, usually their feet are square. When his foot is back and staggered, it’s a very good chance he’s going to lunge forward and run a quarterback sneak. They try to hide it with the motion. ... He gets up there and just puts his foot back from the motion, but he doesn’t bring it back," explained Jason Kelce, analyst.

Dufine said Kelce's preparation included a mock broadcast before his first national game assignment.

"Little things like that he noticed and jumped on early," said Jeff Dufine, ESPN producer.

Kelce also addressed concerns from Jacksonville supporters before the London matchup through his podcast appearance.

"I want to assure Jags fans I’ve seen a lot of the Jags accounts already saying that they’re not looking forward to this. I will be doing my utmost to give you guys the credit you deserve. Jacksonville’s playing as good as any team right now in the AFC. I really do believe that," said Jason Kelce, analyst.

The Eagles enter the matchup at 2-2 after two straight losses, while injuries have forced changes across the roster. According to Philadelphia Eagles announcements, running backs Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby were unavailable, while DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown also dealt with injuries.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts said the offense must adjust to the changing personnel ahead of the London trip.

"I feel good about it. I feel good about the guys that we have. I feel good about the work that we’re putting forward and the week will tell how much that will improve," said Jalen Hurts, quarterback.

Hurts also discussed the team's response to adversity as Philadelphia prepared to face Jacksonville.

"This is when you find out what you have. You find out who you’re going out there to battle with. You see how you respond to adversity, how you show up to work every day, what’s your energy, what’s your level of persistence and resilience and determination to go out there and do the job," said Jalen Hurts, quarterback.

The Eagles promoted center Jake Majors and running back Carson Steele before the game, while releasing quarterback Andy Dalton and placing defensive tackle Uar Bernard on the practice squad injured list, according to the team.
